Our society has really evolved from the times that ageing parents used to live with their children and formed an extended family. Nowadays it is not uncommon for old people to live alone and left to cater for themselves. In order to help out these people who need extra assistance for their day to day life society has created social work jobs. Not only do social care means taking care of the elderly, but it is more and more involved in healthcare for those who have been through severe injuries and recovering. SW Locums being a huge recruitment agency in greater London, it is without surprise that its number of CVs received from candidates looking for social work jobs in Wales for example is really bulky. But being a responsible agency and one which cares for the environment, the agency has decided to go totally paperless.

What does paperless means for the candidates? The company’s HR representative explains: “The term paperless means that we don’t have to store the CVs of our candidates for perusal by potential healthcare employers on paper. All the candidate has to do is log in on our website, fill in their resume. And in the course of their career, should they want to update their profile online, they online have to log in again and update it. Very simple! Then we will send these online CVs to potential employers for a match”. Their initiative has been lauded by many as a very good thing for the environment.

SW Locums has many years of service connecting the right candidate to the right healthcare employer. It has over the years successfully matched candidates for Community Care, “Action for Children”, The British Association of Social Workers, APSco, NSPCC, Department of Education, Health & Care Profession Council and more.
